Chapter 351 Divine Eagle Cliff
The next morning, Ji An came to the tea tree and inhaled a few strands of wood-elemental energy.
The liver quickly refined the wood element energy, producing a drop of azure spiritual liquid.
Once the Divine Palace is perfected, the corresponding Five Elements Qi will be refined into liquid, which can strengthen the Primordial Fire and enhance the divine abilities of the eyes.
Both of the Cloud Peak Jade Trees have reached the second-tier high-grade level, while the Blood Soul Profound Origin is a second-tier mid-grade level and has already borne fruit.
The Bodhi tree is still a second-tier low-grade tree, but the stir-fried leaves have already shown some effect in enhancing comprehension.
After consuming the Qi, Ji An rode a cloud to the Qingling Bamboo Forest and cut down several bamboo stalks that were filled with Qingye Wine.
Nourished and fermented by the spirit bamboo, the taste of the green leaf wine has improved considerably, and the bitter, medicinal taste has become extremely faint.
For him now, these spirit wines mainly serve to quickly restore his magical power.
In the event of intense battle, it is equivalent to a elixir that quickly replenishes mana.
Of course, these preparations are unlikely to be needed.
As the dominant force in the Western Continent, the Golden Spirit Sect has significantly increased its control over the surrounding areas in recent years.
Ji An put the spirit wine into his storage bag and shook his head slightly:
"I need to quickly make a storage artifact made of Void Stone; storage bags are too inconvenient."
It was rather undignified for a cultivator at the Chaoyuan stage to go out carrying several storage bags.
Teng Zhiyuan of the Refining Hall was fortunate enough to obtain a Void Stone in the late Foundation Establishment stage and refined it into a high-level storage artifact.
It's a pity he had the wealth but not the luck.
He made up his mind that if he couldn't obtain Void Stones through the sect's channels, he would definitely buy some when the merchant ships from the Central Continent arrived.
He should be traveling by then; he can't keep carrying around a bunch of storage bags!
Not only do you need to bring a storage bag, but you also need to bring several spirit beast bags.
Ji An let out a whistle, and the sound waves spread out, echoing through the mountains and forests.
"Yo-yo," the call of a deer came from a corner of the mulberry field, while a clear cry came from the other side of the mountain.
Not long after, the green deer arrived at the edge of the bamboo forest with graceful steps.
Ji An reached out and stroked the thick antlers, and the beast affectionately shook its head.
He communicated through spiritual means:
"Youyou, I'm leaving for a few days."
While I'm away, the task of taking care of that green spiritual field will be entrusted to you.
There you'll find your favorite tender mulberry leaves, as well as Biluo fruit, and don't forget that very tall spirit tree with fish-scale patterns.
"When I get back, I'll give you some honey to try."
Now, Qinglu has advanced to the fourth level of Foundation Establishment, and can release the Azure Wood Transformation Technique, which is equivalent to the Great Completion level, with a casting area of about twenty acres.
The 500-acre Wood Spirit Plant Garden can easily take care of it.
"Yo yo!"
The green deer nodded. When it wasn't going out, it loved to wander around the mulberry fields.
I love the season when the flowers are in bloom because I can soon enjoy the sweet and sour mulberries.
Sweet honey is, of course, its favorite.
"Good boy!" Ji An laughed heartily.
With abundant resources and superior bloodline, this beast is growing rapidly.
Once the Beast Tamer is able to unleash the perfect level of the Azure Wood Transformation Technique, he can also entrust the Crimson Cloud Pine Forest and the Fire Element Spirit Fruit Garden to the Beast Tamer for care.
This was his wisest 'investment'. Other beasts were huge consumers of resources, but the Green Deer was a powerful helper.
The eagle's cry rang out again, and a magnificent golden-feathered eagle swooped down.
Ji An took out a second-tier Biluo Fruit, swallowed it whole, and disappeared into the woods in the blink of an eye.
It was naturally afraid of the giant eagle and the rock-armored bear, even though its demonic power was greater than that of the two.
Ji An sighed softly. The green deer was too timid, which wouldn't do. He planned to have it participate in attacks in the future, just like Wu Yan from the Beast Taming Hall.
We need to find an opportunity to train the next few beasts in their ability to hunt in a coordinated manner.
The Golden Spirit Eagle landed beside its master; it had now reached the second level of Foundation Establishment.
As a wind-type demon beast, Crimson Flame Peak does not have any suitable spiritual fruits, so its growth is relatively slow.
The golden-feathered eagle was already enormous, exceeding Ji An's head by half when standing.
He raised his hand and patted the beast's neck.
The golden eagle understood and lowered its body, allowing its master to straddle it.
"Let's go to Big Yellow's cave first."
The eagle spread its wings, took off easily, and soon landed at the cave entrance.
The rock bear had woken up, but was lying there lazily, waiting for the sunlight to shine in before leaving the cave.
Ji An jumped down. "You guys wait here first, I'll go get the golden retriever."
He used Earth Escape Technique, experiencing a moment of darkness, and arrived at the cave of the Soul-Nourishing Wood.
The golden retriever squeaked, clearly looking forward to this outing.
Let's go!
Ji An smiled and put it into the spirit beast bag, then returned to the ground and put Da Huang into another spirit beast bag.
On this trip, he only brought these three tamed beasts with him, firstly to keep watch, and secondly to keep him company.
He wouldn't bring the Grey-feathered Sand Goose and the Azure Water Turtle. The Sand Goose's speed was no longer sufficient for him, and the Azure Water Turtle was only at the ninth level of Qi Refining, so it couldn't be of any help.
The western continent is mountainous with little water, so there is no place for the blue water turtle to thrive.
Ji An leaped onto the back of the golden-feathered eagle and said:
"Take off, and move in the direction my arm is pointing."
Divine Eagle Cliff is located northwest of the Golden Spirit Sect, about 600 li away from Crimson Flame Peak in a straight line.
Here, mountains rise in abundance, and among them lies a deep valley called Eagle's Sorrow Gorge.
It was once famous for being inhabited by a large number of eagle-like monsters, and it was said to have been inhabited by a great demon of the Chaoyuan period.
However, that was hundreds of years ago. Before the demonic calamity broke out, the area had already been wiped out by the Golden Spirit Sect.
Now, there are only a few demonic eagles at the Qi Refining stage here.
Shenying Cliff is a rocky mountain with little vegetation, and it looks very desolate.
The golden eagle slowly descended; this was Ji An's first destination.
This mountain is high enough that the Earth element gathers here, and most wonderfully, the Earth element gathers here in Eagle's Sorrow Stream.
Cultivators from sects who travel outside the sect to cultivate their qi and nourish the earth often make this their first stop.
Before the beast could land, Ji An channeled his magic power and hovered in the air. The Flame Banner flew out from his dantian, and a cloud of flames, as bright and clear as the sunset after rain, enveloped him.
Ji An is very disciplined in battle. We are already in the wilderness, so we should be prepared for combat and prevent any unexpected situations.
Still not satisfied, he unleashed the Mixed Gold Armor Spell.
Golden light spread across his body, and mysterious, ancient patterns appeared before quickly disappearing beneath his skin.
He rode his magical artifact to one of the mountain peaks and activated the Five Directions Spirit Tempering Technique.
A bright yellow light emanated from the rocks and gathered in his palm.
Ji An collected the Earth Qi into a specially made jade bottle he had prepared and continued casting the spell.
Soon, it absorbed all the Earth Qi from the mountain peak.
It's unknown how long it will take for the Earth element to regenerate within the mountain peaks.
Ji An put away the jade bottle, stood still, and exhaled while making the "hu" sound, then inhaled naturally.
This cycle repeats itself, a warm and sweet aroma enters the mouth and is swallowed, the veins on the surface of the spleen shimmer with brilliance, and the Qi of Earth is stored in the spleen.
The absorbed Earth Qi is different from the Earth Qi that is consumed. The absorbed Earth Qi is more like a materialized spiritual object, while the Earth Qi is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and is a component of the Earth element Qi.
Two quarters of an hour later, Ji An realized that he had not absorbed the Qi of Earth for a long time, so he summoned the Golden Feathered Eagle to fly down to the mountain peak.
There's only a wisp of Qi here, so it seems that absorbing Earth Qi is a difficult task.
Half an hour later, when Ji An landed on a mountain peak again, he saw that there were already two cultivators on it.
He extended his divine sense to sense the spiritual pressure emanating from the two individuals before slowly descending.
The two were only Foundation Establishment cultivators. Although he did not know their purpose in coming, he was certain they were not there to consume Qi.
This mountain peak only absorbs five strands of the Earth element's energy, and he will not let go of any place where the Earth element's energy might exist.
Upon seeing him land, the cultivator's expression immediately changed, and he cupped his hands in greeting:
"We apologize for disturbing you, senior. We'll leave now."
Ji An waved his hand, indicating that they could leave.
He got into position and began to ingest the qi, but after a quarter of an hour he shook his head with a wry smile, feeling just like a fisherman who had worked hard all day but came away empty-handed.
He took out the apricot-yellow flag and channeled spiritual energy into it. Yellow spiritual light enveloped him, and golden lotuses swirled around him.
He manipulated the flame flag that had lifted off the ground to retract the flames, transforming it into a fiery cloud that protected his body.
Although it is a replica, this flag still possesses a trace of the power of an innate spiritual treasure, capable of instantly disrupting yin and yang and causing instability in the enemy's spiritual weapon.
However, this ability consumes too much energy, requiring the extraction of about 90% of the spiritual energy from the Flame Banner, which refers to 90% of the spiritual energy in the artifact when it is at its full capacity.
It cannot be used as a regular method; it can only be used as a last resort.
As the magical artifact is continuously upgraded, the energy consumption of using the chaotic Yin-Yang power will decrease.
Ji An rode two magical artifacts and flew towards Eagle Sorrow Gorge.
At the same time, he summoned the Golden Feathered Eagle and had the beast follow behind him for support and vigilance.
Upon reaching Eagle's Sorrow Gorge and descending to a certain altitude, mist filled the deep ravine.
The beast let out a hiss, indicating that it could not descend.
The fog grew thicker and thicker, severely impacting its cultivation.
"Wait for me here!"
Ji An left behind a single sentence and disappeared alone.
Thanks to the extra gain from opening up the Wood Elemental Palace, he possessed eyes that could see through the thick fog.
Although the fog was getting thicker, he could still see a dozen or so feet of visibility.
He controlled his descent and saw tall pine and jujube trees, as well as many unidentified wild grasses, growing on the steep rock face.
Occasionally, you can see large snakes, as thick as an arm, coiled around some pine and cypress trees, their scarlet tongues flicking out.
Ji An tried to stay away from these natives as much as possible. The reason was simple: these snakes were only at the Qi Refining level, so there was no need to take action against them.
A large snake, as thick as a water bucket and with black and red stripes, sprang out of a cave in the rock wall and lunged straight at Ji An.
It looks strange, with a flat, triangular snake head and two finger-thick fangs in its open mouth.
On its torso, there are two gray fleshy wings, each the size of a washbasin, which are very similar to the wings of a bat.
In its eyes, the monk who landed was a delicious treat delivered right to its doorstep.
The strange snake has been cultivating here for many years and has already devoured dozens of cultivators.
The cultivator's flesh and blood can accelerate its transformation, so there's no reason to let it go!
Ji An was slightly surprised. His divine sense had been in a dispersed state, but he hadn't noticed it at all before the demonic snake attacked.
